Working Trials

In a litter born 24 August 1957 – three females were registered according to the Kennel Gazette December 1957 (Belinda of Mallion, also Brangane and Brunhilde) also four males (Balthasar, Boris, Brutus and Bruin). Bruin of Mallion was owned by Mrs. Maud Wait (Lenlee) and apart from being unbeaten in the show ring at the time, became the breed’s first Working Trials Champion gaining CDex, UDex and TDex titles in 1962. No Challenge Certificates were on offer then, but had there been, it is alleged, he would certainly have become a Show Champion.
